I wanna pair of cowboy boots like that mexican hitman 
Did episode 2 series 2 last night.
No wait for series 3 though. Have that here ready to go
Just finished series 3.
No spoilers but it was excellent!!!
Now there is an irritating wait for series 4:
Linky here
For anyone that has finished series 3 then the first 2 (of 8) mini episodes are called The Handlers and you can view them here - http://www.atom.com/channel/channel_handlers/?v=handlers_prostitute/

The Handlers thing is something completely different, not the BB mini episodes.

Only halfway through S2 but this is seriously good. Up there with Deadwood and who knows . . . maybe that other druggie/cop thing from a few years ago.
I haven't read the thread but, ultimately, it's a satire really, isn't it?

The problem with Deadwood was more to do with David Milch's 'approach' - too much uncertainty for HBO to back him, imo.
Diff company financing this, of course. Seems a big but tightly controlled budget, and the audience is holding up very well.

No I'm pretty sure that was 8ball...
Deadwood also cost a fucking fortune to make. Breaking Bad is (comparatively) cheap to make, and therefore not likely to fold like Deadwood.
Rome and Deadwood are two of the few HBO cancelled shows. Because they were so damned expensive to make.

Cost is related to real time cable subscriptions generated though.
Breaking Bad also seems to manage very well on a surprisingly small cast (and therefore narrow storylines) - Bryan Cranston takes on an awful lot but not it seems to the detriment of the whole.
Fwiw, on another site I just got hit by a very large spoiler from somewhere after halfway of S2. . . . ouch!

Is it the bit where jessie thinks he is a humming bird for two weeks?
That bit was funny. Actually that might be season 3.

I'd agree with ilovebush&blair though, Ive not seen anything that comes close to Breaking Bad.

The Wire and Deadwood are very good. I hear good things about Mad Men but I've yet to start that series.

mad men is shite. Not a single redeeming character in the series and its all house wife gossip stuff. Its basically a male dominated sex in the city set in a 60's advertising agency. Only with people who look less like a foot.
Filmed nicely but i hate it i hate it i hate it.
Watch sons of anarchy instead. If you like wire/deadwood then it may well appeal. Gangsta motor cycle gangs for the win.

The comparison with Deadwood and The Wire is loosely valid imo - we're in that general category with Breaking Bad.
Madman seems to lurch a little, and you really have to enjoy the 'internal struggle' dramatic emphasis.
Either I didn't 'get' Sons of Anarchy or it's vacuous biker shit for late-night stoned 20-somethings.

really? who's a redeeming character then and at any point ever is it not just about whos fucking who? and who going to get promoted and bullshit.
I bet you like sex in the city too. Real football fans wouldn't like mad men.

I hate Real mate. And why does a show need redeeming characters? FTR I fucking loathe SITC.

It needs someone sound in it! even if they are awesome in a very flawed and sociopathic way. If i was ever around anyone in mad men in real life it would end up with me calling them a tosser after 5 mins and wondering off. I'm not even vaguely interested in them or their lives. They aren't witty, clever or funny they are just there smoking working and stabbing each other in the back.
Fuck that noise.
Only possible exception was main dudes blonde wife who was almost interesting for a couple of episodes before pissing me off. I can't believe i gave it a full season just in case. Utter utter well filmed cack.

no one in the sopranos is 'sound' - they're all amoral and/or psychotic, yet it's compelling as hell.
